But again, as a professional pilot, its best to mind the store and never allow your airplane's speed to slow to shaker (let alone pusher) speed...
Ah, while I agree with this, there is one point to consider, how many were trained to not lower the nose, but maintain pitch attitude (especially at low altitude as on an approach) on a stall recovery in transport catagory because in most cases they can be flown out of a stall, unlike a small piston plane...Maybe sim training should reflect stall recovery whether you lose 50 or 500 feet in real world what does it matter, if you recover. Remember muscle memory is what we do under duress.
IF you trained to fly out of the stall without lowering the nose past nuetral while adding power, guess what.....one might inadvertantly add back pressure as he adds power....just a thought (of course in the sim we deal with the approach to the stall, not a deep aerodynamic stall as 3407 was in)..time to train both scenario's???????
